“In 1999, for the first time in over a century, a class of students educated entirely in Hawaiian from the age of four to eighteen graduated,”
James Griffiths, Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language

“It cannot be overstated how close Hawaiian came to extinction. Many of the immersion preschools had to bring in elderly people to act as teachers, as so few in the intervening generation spoke the language. Had the Hawaiian renaissance come a decade later, many of these people would have been dead, and the process might have been closer to reviving an extinct language than revitalizing one under threat, a far, far harder task.”
James Griffiths, Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language

“We feel Wales should get independence from normal political channels but by the time she does the only people left to celebrate will be Liverpudlians’.”
